Ben-Gvir, known for promoting violent acts by Jewish settlers in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, has been called a “murderer’s lawyer”, “devil’s advocate” and a “criminal” by Palestinians for advocating in cases involving attacks terrorists perpetrated by Jewish fanatics.

Ben-Gvir was also a member of the racist “Kah” movement, which Israel banned in 1998 due to terrorist acts and which the United States defined as a terrorist organization. (AA)
